March 11, 2013Q.Pest Eating Roots Over Winter
Large pink-headed maggots are eating the roots of fuschia over winter. I noticed them in the soil at the end of the season in my hanging baskets and pots. Each year I refresh the soil with new compost. What are they, and what can be done to prevent this from happening?

May 4, 2013A.You certain ally can. They need bright light indoors, high humidity and cool temperatures. Watch for mealy bugs and spider mites. About a month before moving back outside, they should be given a shearing to promote new growth. Resume regular fertilizing at this point.

June 2, 2013Q.How Long Can You Keep Fuchsia Cuttings Before Rooting
Can you store cuttings from this year's plants to propagate next year?

June 2, 2013A.Fuchsia cuttings could be held for 3-4 days before sticking if stored properly, that is correct humidity and temperature. Viability of the cuttings would diminish significantly after that time.

My beautiful fuchsia (Phyllis) is growing buds, but as they mature, they are turning almost white. I do fertilize with Miracle Gro, water and mist regularly. What am I doing wrong? Oh yes, she gets mostly dappled sun. Help!

January 15, 2014Q.Fuchsia Indoors
I brought my miniature fuschia plant indoors this fall. It is in a sunny south window. It gets covered with buds but they fall off without opening, and more buds come. What can I do to get flowers, or to keep the buds from falling off?

Certified ExpertA.Low humidity or too dry an environment is the most common reason for bud drop on fuchsias indoors. I would suggest increasing the humidity level of your home.

January 16, 2014Q.Fuchsia in Winter
Since winter has been mild in Ireland this year, my fuchsia never lost its leaves and continues to bloom. I tried cutting a few branches back but they are still alive and I would not want to cause any damage to the plant, so I stopped. On the other hand, I am afraid that if I don't cut it back it will not perform well in the spring. What should I do?

Certified ExpertA.I would let it go for now and cut it back in the spring. These plants respond well to pruning, regardless of when it is done. By pruning in the spring, you will not risk forcing it into early and cold vulnerable growth now. This would normally not be a problem, but since it is not going dormant, it could also want to grow when trimmed.
